I've been conducting an informal science experiment with my family for the past 20 years. My wife, my older son (19), my younger son (15) and I have ONLY drink carbonated water. Period. Every drink, every meal.

My kids have no cavities / perfect teeth. My wife and I, by that age range, had tons of cavities.



Did you drink well or city water as a child? The fluoride in the water could be a factor as well.


In a family with radically diverse genetics, and radically diverse oral health outcomes seemingly independent of oral care: congratulations on hitting the genetic lottery!


We just drink soda water.


Sure but do you get it in a can/bottle or make it yourself? The latter done with public tap water would still contain fluoride.
